Dancing WIth Myself: My deep dive into Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria

No one likes rejection, but for people with Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) rejection is especially painful. This pain can cause mental health issues like anxiety and depression and can even be misdiagnosed as Bi-polar, borderline personality or other mood disorders. Another interesting thing about RSD, 100% of people with ADHD have it! It just shows up in different ways because we are all different. This week I look into RSD to get more information on the symptoms, the way it presents in different people and the treatment.

There are cracks in everything, that's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen. This is a quote I have written on my mirror. I love the perspective it brings me. In this episode I look at the core belief "I am broken" and talk about how we are never broken, but we are also not perfect, there are cracks, and that's ok. That is exactly how we are meant to be. Learning how to accept our flaws while knowing that we aren't broken is a fine line and hard work to do AND so important to our mental health.
